ABOUT DR. MARTENS

The first pair of Dr. Martens boots rolled off the
production line on the 1st April 1960. With its trademark yellow stitch, grooved sole and heel-loop, it was
a boot for workers, initially worn by postmen and policemen; comfortable, durable and lightweight in comparison
to its competitors at the time. Throughout Dr. Martens history, the brand has been adopted and subverted
by diverse individuals, musicians, youth cultures and tribes. These are the people who stand out from the
crowd and their journey of self-expression has always been accompanied by a pair of DM’s. The simple silhouette
allows people to customize each pair; while on a utilitarian level their famous durability and comfort make
them ideal footwear for the world of gigs and street fashion. On an emotional level, they are badge of attitude
and empowerment. The Northamptonshire factory where it all began still exists to this day, in the village
of Wollaston. A special range of ‘Made In England’ products are manufactured here by a small, close-knit
team of people schooled in traditional shoe-making and the unique process that makes Dr. Martens like no
other shoe on earth.

Roger Miret

I think they used us for this whole gentrification, we were the first one’s here, we had to deal with the gangs
that were here. Nobody ever walked down to Ave’s B, C or D, nobody would ever go that way, but we did.

For me hardcore is in my soul and NYHC lives forever It’s not either or not you are a part of it or living
vicariously thru it. The fact is I was there, I’ve seen it and it’s eternal.

Judge

Mike Judge

I came up with all these words which became the New York crew song, the whole framework of this band that wasn’t
going to let people do this to us anymore. We weren’t going to be doormats. Because we’re being cool and
nice doesn’t give you the right to walk on us.

Graffiti was my first drug, it was like a high. I went to a place to bomb a train and anyone could attack me.
I could get hit with a bat, I could get stabbed up or I could find someone and vick their shit or a cop could
lock me up or beat me up then lock me up!
